The 2027 presidential campaign of Jean‑Luc Mélenchon and La France insoumise

On 11 November 2026, Jean‑Luc Mélenchon reacts to the German project to become Europe’s leading army and declares that he does not accept it, while several analyses and debates focus on his international positions, the 2004 law on religious signs in schools and the financing of the think tank La Boétie. On 12 November, he details measures for the overseas territories, notably the return of the train to Réunion, La France insoumise unveils a €3.45 billion plan for textiles and he proposes a public early‑childhood service with 500,000 crèche places; a poll places him for the first time above 20 % for 2027. The same period sees the presentation of L’Avenir en commun, an analysis denouncing an “authoritarian” line and a decryption of the risks of a NATO exit. On 13 November, his proposal on the Donbass is criticised, while his project for a Sixth Republic and collectivism as the foundation of his programme are detailed.
